A Dialysis Journey

 Dialysis and My Medicare Part D
 

Some of you are dealing with Medicare Part D.

This is my list of drugs which I am taking and their cost and my cost:: Nephrovite: I need to get that at Target ... at my drug store it cost full cost (<$20) bec it is a vitimin and Medicare doesn’t pay for herbs; Lipitor: $106.85, I pay $5; Lexapro: $76.41, I pay $5; Zinc: $10.40, I pay $10.40; Coumadin: $14.05, I pay $2; Lantis (insulin): $200.27, I pay $5; Renagel: $433.32, pay $5; Sensipar: $286.07, I pay $5. I have the drugs w/ prices listed above and twice they have not let the copy run —> I suppose that is what is happening?

That’s eight drugs out of 15 that I take monthly, a few drugs are PRN.
These eight drugs the price totals: $1,146.61
I pay: $37.40

Additional Info: 100 pills of Nephrovite cost $15.99 at Target, that will last me three months plus.
Also: All dialysis patients are on Medicare and Medicaid.

Any questions?

 It’s Been Too LONG!!!
 

Hello . . .

I am finally bringing myself back together ... nothing seriously wrong, just too many things not working out and, therefore, I rested/slept more than usual!!! But, now, a freind sent me my favorite design program and that is making me happy. Then, to get rid of the AOL-probably not enough space???- I reinsstalled AOL and that is better now and making me Happy!!! I still have a ways to go to get Mac/AOL all caught up nicely. I am so computer illerate ... it takes a lot of my hands holding my head until things finally come to me.

So, during this time, I have finally started using my new graph. My arm stayed swollen for quite a while and when stuck it would leave a BIG bruise(I’m on Coumadin). So, now, that seems to be on it‘s way to being a usable graph. I think it needs to be used for a month before the catheter in my neck can be taken out.

My teeth!!!! Any body want a picture? I look like an ole hag. oh gggeeeewwiiizzz ........ don’t I hate that!!! I was lead to believe that services could be rendered from a dentist that would give me new teeth. Right now, I’m thinking NOT.......???......seems like dentists want their money!!!1 I really don’t know anything specific yet —> things do go up and down!!!

Otherwise, dialysis has been just fine. Nothing particular.

Getting my drugs via the new Medicare Part D has been ok ...... one of my drugs, Nephrovite (a vitamin designed for dialysis patients) can be bought at Target for less than even the Medicare amount. And then, yesterday, I got a letter about Lexapro -> so, I have to figure that out. Otherwise, the price has been more than just right.

Soon, I am going to write it all down about my drugs and their costs. I‘ll write it in here.

Thanks for coming by here.
Sorry, I haven’t been here much for a while.

Any questions?

 All I Need Is A Dose Of Magic
 


I’m frustrated, thought I was moving to a place that I really liked ... but, noooooo ... I DO NOT Like this Process AT ALL; I have to go to Richmond next week to have MCV have a looksee at my teeth, they all have to come out ... DUH ... and I don’t know what after that . . .

I’ve written this twice before and I’ve pretty much forgotten what I’m writing!!!

I got back on here so I would get tired and be able to go back to sleep!!! YEP ... it’s working, don’t know what I’m writing!!

I’ve been trying for 2-3 weeks to get the DSL done ... NOT HAPPIN’ ... eventually

I miss being on here ... eventually!!!

hello to SM and L!!! w/smiles
